Retrieves the post thumbnail.

Description

When a theme adds ‘post-thumbnail’ support, a special ‘post-thumbnail’ image size is registered, which differs from the ‘thumbnail’ image size managed via the Settings > Media screen.

When using the_post_thumbnail() or related functions, the ‘post-thumbnail’ image size is used by default, though a different size can be specified instead as needed.

Parameters

$postint|WP_Postoptional

Post ID or WP_Post object. Default is global $post.

Default:null

$sizestring|int[]optional

Image size. Accepts any registered image size name, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order). Default 'post-thumbnail'.

Default:'post-thumbnail'

$attrstring|arrayoptional

Query string or array of attributes.
